Hi, Jackie!
Was the cemetery at Little River part of the Geelong Cemeteries Trust, or is
it a separate cemetery?
does anyone know which cemeteries are part of the Trust, apart from Eastern
and Western Cemeteries?
Many thanks,
Alwynne

> Hi All,
> I found my Mary Ann WATSON (b. 10/10/1838 Tasmania) in Little River
(Rothwell)Cemetary. Does anyone on the list know anything about her life in
the district. Her husband Samuel Nelson WATSON (a Trooper 1856-1868) died in
May 1869, aged 32 and is buried in Boram Boram (Penshurst) Cemetary. Mary
died in 1894 and was 56. I found her there when I realized her oldest son
had married and had children in the area. He was William WATSON b.Hamilton,
1860 who married Christina STEWART b. Werribee 1864.

I believe he had a son named Francis T H WATSON ? (illigitimate), born prior
to this marriage, to a girl in Vic.
